Are you ready to celebrate the official end of winter and look towards thewarmer weather of the summer? We are too! Come join The Mission Continues ofPittsburgh (Hazelwood Platoon), and our partner Hazelwood Initiative, as we dosome spring cleaning in preparation for the Hazelwood Summer Marketplace.The Hazelwood Summer Marketplace provides a low-risk opportunity forsmall and local businesses to set up shop. Hazelwood Initiative has been runningthis outdoor business incubator for over 5 years because storefronts are limited inHazelwood. The Marketplace allows local businesses to practice their businessmodel and gain a following.

In recent years, the marketplace continues to be rented out, but has receivedless attention than before. However, beginning this summer, Hazelwood Initiativewants it to be more of a hub of activity. This would benefit the vendors with morecustomers, as well as the community with more activities. Hazelwood Initiative hasdecided to reactivate the site, giving a lot of time and attention to it once again. Thissummer, the site will be host to vendors, fairs, concerts, etc. and needs to bebrightened up.

To activate the site, Hazelwood Initiative is hosting a Summer MarketplaceClean-Up. The clean-up will mainly consist of painting the stands, a stage, and somestorage sheds in a fresh and bright coat of paint. Some miscellaneous trash andovergrowth maintenance might also be in order.

Hazelwood Initiative will be providing lunch for all registered participants.This event is open to all ages and abilities.
